Swine Flipping Flu

Did it find me? Yes it did, was it as bad as they say? Yes it is! No I didn't die like some have but was it horrid beyond any sickness that I have personally ever had? Yes it really was that bad. For about 5 days I could not get out of bed, which it takes a LOT to stricken me to the bed. Between the fevers, cold chills, nausea, diarhea, eyes burning, headaches, lungs on fire, eyes watering, head congestion, and all out misery I seriously considered quitting my job. That is where I got this lousy flu, every stinken kid and teacher is sick out there, I knew it was going to catch up to me eventually, I knew it would find me. I really don't want to go back to school, so many people are sick, I worry about bringing it home to my two little girls. I had to wear a mask for 5 days straight, didn't hold Marlee for 5 days nor be around Mya. Poor Mya just didn't understand. She would see me laying in bed all day long miserable, eye's watering and sicker than a dog and want to come jump on me and play. It was so hard to push her off me and tell her to go find dad and shut the door. It broke my hear actually, and not to hold Marlee was almost impossible but because the doctor told me if I didn't stay aways from her that it she could end up in the hospital if she got it. Some are saying the media is blowing this Swine Flu thing out of porpotion, I agree. The flu has killed way more people than this swine flu. Is the Swine flu just another flu? Yes it is but one that freaking puts you out on your back drinking soup broth for a week! There is so many viruses and sicknesses going around it really makes you never want to leave your house or go to any public places! I would feel horrible if my little ones got that sick, after having it for about a week I can see why so many young kids are dieing from it! I do feel like a human again though. I am up and walking which says a lot for the last week and confined to my bed! Mya and Marlee have a mom again, Todd a wife and well I have not yet convinced myself to go back to that germ infested classroom of mine to go catch another cold virus to bring home, my students may never get their teacher back!
Todd....what can I say. He did everything on his own. He took such good care of the girls for me. Fed, bathed and listen to me cry everyday how horrible I felt. He is so amazing and I am so grateful for a good husband and dad. Thanks TOdd for taking care of me when I was so sick, you don't have to sleep on the couch anymore! I miss my sleeping buddy!

This is me on the first day, oh don't I still look normal, little did i know the Hell I was about to enter into the next few days!
